Who should attend
MRI PRO is for radiologists, urologists, and trainees who already have a basic understanding of reading prostate MRI as per the currently recognised standard of PI-RADS v.2.1.
We recommend users have at least some clinical experience in reading prostate MRI and have attended one of the many prostate MRI courses or workshops available, such as those listed below.
By allowing you to practise on a large volume of real cases, MRI PRO will then complement the knowledge and skills learnt at these courses. This combination of learning and practice will turn you into an expert at reading prostate MRI.
What you will learn
Students will analyse 300 full prostate MRI cases, performed to PIRADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) v2.1 standard, online.
For each case, students will analyse the MRI and will be required to give their answers in four domains, which are all clinically focused.
Program structure
Assessment Task 1 (AT1)
What the PIRADS score is, as the indicator of likelihood that significant prostate cancer is present.
Assessment Task 2 (AT2)
If the MRI is deemed positive for a suspicious lesion (PIRADS 3 – 5), how many lesions are present.
Assessment Task 3 (AT3)
If the MRI is positive, what staging features there are with regard to extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle involvement, lymph node metastasis and bony metastasis.
Assessment Task 4 (AT4)
If lesions are present, where in the prostate a biopsy would most likely hit that lesion.
Following completion of each case, students submit their answers and are immediately shown the correct answer and where their answer diverges from it for each component. Students are also shown the full histology of the prostate for all cases positive for cancer, as well as annotated MRI images with lesions circled, for immediate feedback.
Students can also return to the MRI images after each case to review where they have got their answer right or wrong.
To progress to the next case, students must submit their answer, ensuring interactive learning. They will also be able to track their own progress and improvement in accuracy using the My Progress feature, showing a detailed breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses in PIRADS scoring of each MRI. Students must successfully complete AT1, AT2 and AT4 for at least 20 consecutive cases with at least 80% accuracy.
Testimonials
"I've really enjoyed using MRI PRO. It's very easy to use, and I find it so convenient to log on and do a couple of cases whenever I have a few moments of free time. I also really like the immediate and sleek feedback, it gives it a gaming feel that encourages me to continue to use it."

"It's been a really great tool with a great interface that is easy to manoeuvre through. I especially liked the radical prostatectomy cuts and explanations given with the answers."
